Student Ambassadors

The work of a Student Ambassador is varied and may include:

• Supporting on-campus events such as Open Days, school visits, and First Choice Summer School
• Leading campus tours or individual visits
• Attending schools and colleges
• Attending Higher Education fairs
• Sitting on student panels to participate in audience Q&As
• Working with your faculty to talk about your course
• Assisting with various marketing campaigns.

 The role of a Digital Ambassador includes:

• Creating a profile and responding to questions from prospective students or parents/carers on our instant messaging app
• Creating content for our social media channels, usually in the form of photos or short videos to showcase all aspects of student life.

Being a Student Ambassador will enhance your personal and professional development by offering valuable work experience, where you'll expand your networking skills and improve your public speaking. If you're successful in joining the team, you'll also benefit from:

• Paid casual work assignments
• Flexibility to accept and decline assignments to suit your timetable
• Representing the University at local and national events
• Contributing to the University's widening participation agenda
• The chance to meet other Student Ambassadors and join our community.

It's also a great way to earn some extra money if you were considering taking up a part-time job alongside your studying. The rate of pay is £12 per hour, plus holiday pay (correct at the time of publishing in August 2024).

• Flexibility to fit TAP chats around your timetable, with 24 hours to respond to requests
• One hour pay per week at a rate of £12.31 per hour (inclusive of holiday pay).
